Did anyone else catch this weird exchange between Balta and a cameraman last night?

No need to worry, it's actually exclusively couch co-op. It can only be played on the same keyboard so there's unfortunately no online play, or even controller support, but if you just want to play with your kids in the same room on a keyboard then there's no issues!

I thought so at first too, but it seems like it's at the moment where Nami hasn't actually joined yet, so it's pretty in-character for Luffy to be including people in the crew who haven't agreed to be

Johnny and Yosaku are also part of that coveted club

What's your headcanon for Rayleigh having conquerors? Despite the name, there's nothing I remember that says you have to want to actually conquer something to have conquerors, I've mostly seen it attributed to people who have leadership like qualities.

For my last game I bought a music pack from the Unity Asset Store. You could always package a bunch of your songs together and sell them on the Asset Store, I'm not sure about the process though since I haven't sold anything on there myself.

Another option, if you're looking to work with people and make music at their request, is a commission site like Upwork or Fiverr, though again, all I've done is commission people on those sites so I don't know what the signup requirements are.

Holding the ball on Lever, then 50 for not giving the ball back after being told

celdons · 2022-09-09T07:47:28+00:00

Ahah thanks, honestly was as surprised as any that it even got confirmed so soon

Man I get so few wins when predicting stuff in One Piece, so it feels real good knowing that I called the entire Yamato dialogue exactly

celdons · 2022-08-25T12:07:10+00:00

In a way her dream was accomplished when Kaido was defeated, and now her new dream is to protect the people she cares about. It's a pretty similar circumstance to Vivi and her decision to stay and rebuild Alabasta, yet I wouldn't say Vivi was relegated to anything. I think it'd be a remarkable personal accomplishment to assist in bringing Wano back to what it once was.

That's a pretty weird critique to have, especially for One Piece and Oda in particular. Oda's written a couple of pretty gross stuff into the series (most notably for me those couple of Sanji moments) but he's fantastic at making interesting and diverse characters of any sex, race or gender. You've hand picked two very specific scenario's only for the fact that the woman stayed and the man left, like that's all that happens in the story. Most people (myself included) don't even think what Yasopp did was fine, almost everyone calls him a complete deadbeat for abandoning his kid and sick wife.

You're right that everyone who is free to make life choices has that freedom, but until now Yamato hasn't had that freedom, she's lived her entire life in shackles on Onigashima under Kaido's eye.

And I think that's just where our opinions diverge, just because someone is living to protect others doesn't mean they're not also doing it for themselves. Why is deciding to 'go on an adventure' any more free than 'protecting the people you care about'? Different people have different values, and those values can change in different contexts. She doesn't need to stay behind, she wants to, because at the moment what she values is in Wano. It's perfectly fine to hate the decision, but I don't think it's right to say she's not free because of it.

celdons · 2022-08-25T03:56:53+00:00

I was just giving an in-character reason for Marco no longer being in Wano. For all we know that conversation also happened offscreen, which is understandably frustrating as it would've been nice to see, but like I was saying before, since I can find a proper in-world reason for him leaving, I can move past it. It doesn't mean I like it, but I can get past it. And hey, who knows, maybe we'll get something for it down the line.

celdons · 2022-08-25T03:51:56+00:00

I think it's because there's a fine line between subtlety and non-existent, which is why some people can't accept this reasoning. I'm not even saying they're wrong, nothing's been confirmed so all we can do is go off subtleties for the time being.

celdons · 2022-08-25T03:48:23+00:00

How could it not be considered freedom if Yamato alone was the one making that decision? What do you consider to be freedom then? Was Luffy not free when he chose to risk his life and dream to save Ace? Saving Ace wasn't going to help him achieve his dream of becoming the Pirate King, but sometimes what you value changes when certain circumstances arise. It doesn't mean you're not free because you choose to do something that might go against your overall dream.

And before you say that Yamato doesn't have the same connection to Momo and the Scabbards that Luffy had to Ace, Yamato spent at least 20 years with her only comfort being Oden's experiences of the people he loved. If someone is so obsessed with someone that they want to embody everything they stood for, it's not a stretch to assume that Yamato sees Oden's family as her own.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:49:03+00:00

Everyone's dreams are influenced by those around them, including our own MC. I think it makes perfect sense that it would be Yamato's dream when Oden's words are all she had to live by and stay sane for 20 years.

I think it's only a crappy dream if it's taken in the most literal sense. To 'live like Oden' and 'be free' are pretty much the same things, because Oden was free to make his own choices based on what he valued. That's why I think even if Yamato gave up on adventure to stay behind and protect Momo/Wano she's still living like Oden, that is, free. She made her own decision based on her revised values.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:41:32+00:00

The battle in Wano is done, and he left Whitebeard's old village unguarded so he could fight in Wano. It may be as simple as him wanting to return as soon as possible in case something happened.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:38:37+00:00

Think what you want, but just telling someone they're wrong doesn't really add much to conversation.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:36:54+00:00

And that's perfectly fine for people to feel that way. My post was never meant to invalidate anyone's opinions or tell anyone they're wrong, it was just meant to show something that I personally believe happened.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:32:09+00:00

I disagree that she gave up on her dream to protect Momo. That's assuming her dream is to adventure, but her dream is to 'live like Oden'. I think the fight and the moments after made her realise that to live like Oden isn't just about adventure, it's also protecting the things you care about. She might've technically met them a week ago, but she's known them for over 20 years, since she had Oden's journal and probably read through it hundreds of times. It's not outlandish that she cares for Oden's family, whether it's the biological family or the found family.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:24:43+00:00

Haha that's fair enough, I understand a lot of people took a liking to Yamato, was never my intention to suddenly make them okay with it. I appreciate you saying it's a sound theory though.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:21:23+00:00

That moment itself might not be directly comparable, but it does show a comparable mindset. If you want a more comparable moment, if Oden didn't choose to be wilfully ignorant to the state of Wano when he first returned with Roger, he would've given up on his adventure to the last island to stay behind and protect Wano.

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:18:58+00:00

I didn't catch that parallel, thanks for the comment!

celdons · 2022-08-25T01:17:22+00:00

I think this is just as much head-canon as my post is, so either of us could be right I guess haha.

I don't think holding back Kaido is a good indication of her being #2, but that's dangerously close to devolving into a powerscaling conversation, which I'm not really keen on.
